As a sex therapist, you know the importance of promoting healthy sexual relationships. You also know the importance of helping people overcome challenges in their relationships. One way to do both is to have a strong online presence—and that's where Google My Business comes in.

Google My Business is a free service that allows businesses to manage their online presence, including their website, location, and hours of operation. But that's not all! Google My Business also allows companies to post photos and videos, respond to reviews, and even offer coupons and discounts. In other words, it's a one-stop shop for everything you need to promote your business online. And best of all, it's free!

Why should you use Google My Business as a sex therapist? Here are three reasons:

Increase The Visibility of Your Sex Therapy Practice

These days, most people use the internet when they're looking for goods and services. And when they're looking for sex therapists, they're going to start with a Google search. That's why it's so important to make sure your business is visible on Google My Business. When you list your business on GMB, you're more likely to show up in search results—which means more people will be able to find you!

Stand Out from the Other Wellness Providers

When potential clients search for sex therapists in their area, they will see many results. How can you make sure they choose you? One way is to create a GMB listing that really stands out—and that means adding photos, videos, and even coupons! When you take the time to complete your GMB listing, you're showing potential clients that you're serious about your business and that you're invested in helping them achieve their goals.

Get Social Proof as a Sex Therapist

Google My Business makes it easy for customers to leave reviews about your business, which can really help attract new clients! After all, 92% of consumers say they read online reviews before choosing a local business—so the more reviews you have, the better! Not only that, but customers trust online reviews just as much as personal recommendations—so getting positive reviews can really help boost your business. While we can’t ask our clients to leave reviews, we can leave reviews for colleagues based on how we understand their clinical work through arenas like attending peer consultations or training together.

Given the stigma some have against sex therapists, having these reviews can increase your legitimacy making it more likely for prospective clients to reach out.

A sex therapist's strong online presence is essential to attracting new clients and growing your business. Google My Business is a free service that allows businesses to manage their online presence—including their website, location, hours of operation, and much more! Now is the time to start if you're not using GMB to promote your business. It's an easy way to increase your visibility online, stand out from the competition, and get more reviews—all of which can help attract new clients and grow your business.
